Select sensor, manufactured to Intoximeters exacting specifications for accuracy, repeatability and long life.

Measurement Range

0.000 to 0.440 g/210L

The off the shelf instrument is designed to offer a range of results that our customers commonly encounter when performing breath alcohol testing. The instrument is capable (with custom software setup) of performing analysis when even the most extreme blood alcohol levels found in living humans are encountered. As well, custom software setup allows the instrument to report results in most units of measure used in breath alcohol testing around the world.

Accuracy and Precision

Highly accurate and precise evidential grade results

Intoximeters fuel cell based instruments set the industry standard for accuracy and precision. These precise and linear devices offer consistent output that results in evidentiary grade analysis.

Sensor Selectivity

Highly specific for alcohol

Fuel Cell sensors are sought after for their specificity to alcohol.

Sampling Method

Flow, Volume, Breath Drop

Instruments running the standard software require a consistent flow, a minimum volume and then a drop in flow before sampling a deep lung breath. Alternate sample capture algorithms are available in customized programs.

Testing Environment

Instrument Temperature

The temperature of the instrument must be at, or between, 0 and 50 degrees C.

Ambient Temperature

As long as the instrument is at temperature, the instrument can be used at, or between, ambient temperatures of -20 to 70 degrees C.

Humidity

10% to 100% relative humidity (The instrument is not designed to be used under water)

Serial thermal and impact printer options exist for interface to the ASVXL.

Passive Use

Intoximeters offers several after sales services that will help keep you on budget and keep your instrument running in tip-top shape.

Our Extended Services Include:

Factory Recertification - For instruments under an active warranty, Factory Recertification offers a preventive maintenance program which provides a thorough evaluation of your instrument and, if required, adjustments to the instrument so that it complies with our strict factory specifications. Learn more.

Extended Warranty - An extended warranty provides full parts and labor coverage for instrument issues that are caused by normal wear and tear as defined by our standard instrument warranty. Learn more.

The accuracy of any breath alcohol testing instrument should be checked periodically. For the Intoximeters Alco-Sensor® VXL instrument, this is accomplished by running a standard with a known alcohol concentration through the instrument's sampling system and verifying that the result is within an acceptable tolerance range of the expected value of the standard. This procedure is called an "accuracy check" and is sometimes referred to as a "calibration check" because it is a test (check) of proper calibration. If the result is within the acceptable tolerance defined in a Quality Assurance Plan (QAP) designed for your testing program, the device is considered accurate. If the result is outside of the acceptable tolerance, the device is not providing accurate readings and therefore must be calibrated.

The equipment used to perform accuracy checks and calibration adjustments is referred to as "calibration equipment" and Intoximeters provides everything needed to maintain the accuracy of your testing device.

Information about the frequency of accuracy checks and the methods used to perform the proceduremay be set forth in a Quality Assurance Plan (QAP). Intoximeters has developed a NHTSA-approved QAP as required by the U.S. DOT Workplace testing program in 49 CFR Part 40.233.
